<p>awesome, looks like you’re in! you should apply to the honors program too if you’re interested.</p>

3

<p>no i see you at a way better school than psu</p>

4

<p>^ I am definetely not sure about that, but I would say you are in at PSU/Upitt.</p>

5

<p>Sounds like you are a good fit for psu.</p>

6

<p>You could do better…</p>

<p>Lol you could do better is kind of an elitist attitude isnt it? Penn State is a great school (especially if she plans to go into engineering or business). I mean I understand applying to higher ranked schools just to balance out your list…but I wouldnt say You could do better is a good choice of words</p>

<p>Apply to Upenn. you probably have them confused. UPENN is the ivy league school, PSU is some other one.</p>

<p>“You could do better…”</p>

<p>Ha, what a moron. Penn State University Park is a great school. </p>

<p>I think you will get in, but you should look at applying to Schreyer Honors College at PSU. Admission to Schreyer is just as tough or tougher than UPenn, so best of luck. Anyone that disagrees with that can feel free to check out the stats, as they support my claim.</p>

<p>you would definitely get in to penn state. no problem. you should try honors college as others have said. but i think you should try for some ivy leagues too with those scores</p>

<p>penn state is an excellent school though so definitely definitely keep it in mind</p>
